  1. I’m not just saying this because I live in Louisiana, or that both of my parents are LSU alumni, but:

    LSU will definitely win. The team is like a group of ancient Greek gods. They play so well that they make the other teams look like they are playing soccer (aka ‘kick the ball’). When a pass is not caught, it is merely because they want it to look like they are not perfect, so the opposing team doesn’t walk off of the field in despair. But in fact, they are perfect. Maybe even perfectly perfect.

    Women will flock to any LSU player in flocks, begging for a chance to go on a date with them. Most will offer to pay for the meal, so great are these guys. Even mad dogs run away from them in fear.

    When future stories are told about football, they will inevitably compare them to the 2007/8 LSU team. NFL teams that are considered ’10-12% as good as LSU’ will be undefeated and win the superbowl.

    Kevin, your exaggeration was hilarious unti you completely snapped credibility with that line. 🙂

  3. Sorry about the Illini, DRJ.

  4. Levi,

    I’ve been trying not to mention it because of JD. My teams won this year but I’ve had many years that weren’t as sweet so I feel his pain.

  5. DRJ – The pain was magnified by their teasing us by driving time after time into the red zone, only to fumble. That, and my flight was cancelled and I did not make it to LA until after the game was over.

    LSU is the most talented, undisciplined, play to the level of our opponent, underachieving teams in the history of college football.

  6. The fumbles were killers – especially the one where a score would have made it 21-17. It’s even worse to go all that way and not make it in time.

    I think your trip was jinxed.

  7. The 10 hours at O’Hare did not help, nor the unscheduled stop in Phoenix. It was doomed. We got beat badly by a good team, complete lack of class, but great team. What hurt is that we killed ourselves, repeatedly, and every bad bounce came right back to them.

  8. basketball prediction: title for ucla this year!

  9. North Carolina Tar Heels. Not only will they win their 2nd title in 4 years, they will come the closest to running the table since my Illini did a few years ago.

  10. LSU over Ohio State by ten. At least.

  11. I predict that USC fans will for the next 8 months whine that USC should have been in the BCS title game.

    Steverino (af57bc)

  12. steverino – It is their birthright.

    JD (bad43f)

  13. steverino – They can whine all they want. But if you lose, at home, to freakin’ Stanford, all support for your position goes right out the window. Championship teams, great teams, do not lose at home to teams like Stanford.

    JD (bad43f)

  14. JD, amigo, if everything goes right for the Illini in that game they still lose by two touchdowns. It was pretty much men against boys out there.

    DRJ, nice call on the Kansas win. Where was that performance against Missouri?

    JVW (e6711e)

  15. Kansas had an easy schedule. I think Missouri was the better team this year.

    DRJ (29b04b)

  16. LSU could not play a harp.
